I love the colors in this portrait, Jane. I would not have thought the deep red would make such a striking background for a portrait, but it IS!! And she has such an honest, open look - very beautiful.

Jane - such a great portrait. Catching up on your posts...enjoyed seeing your sketches from your previous one as well. I think Jane you have such a way of capturing a person's personality in their eyes. Always enjoy seeing your lovely work. The books and coffee sketch makes me think we might like the same things my friend. Have a great week-end.

Playing catch up. Thanks for your comments about Teddy. He is all healed up and now taking car of me. My car was hit by a semi truck and I am a little sore but ok. Not the best start to summer but hoping for no more "events". Love this painting with such expressive eyes. I enjoy all your work.

I am danish , but have lived and worked in Italy for more than 30 years. I discovered watercoloring during a Master in garden design, and it was love at first drop of water. Since then I have moved on to oils painting almost exclusively with that medium . The Impressionism is my favorite period . I am a member of " The Italian Society of Watercolor " .
